Entertaining Tips

Celebration Monogrammed Wine Bowl

 

Tonight is my NYE party. It is a few days early, because it is a Saturday night and lots of people hate being out on New Year's Eve with all the drunks on the road. I have been hosting a monthly wine and food pairing group for a couple of years here and am starting a second one in February. I have some hosting tips to share inspired by several comments from followers I have gotten wondering how to host a party where you can stay relaxed and stress free and actually enjoy your own party. I have 40 coming tonight.

Entertaining with Chinoiserie

With holiday entertaining around the corner, I have rounded some favorite picks for chilling wine and Champagne or any other beverage of choice.

Great Chinoiserie Christmas Gift

Blue and White Canton Collection Wine Bucket

 

A favorite of mine at CCC is this chinoiserie Champagne or wine chiller. It is blue and white Chinese porcelain with a bamboo handle. This is a great piece for yourself for entertaining and would make a great Christmas gift.

My beverage of choice would without question be Champagne. And with the holidays here and New Year's Eve around the corner, what better time to enjoy a lovely bottle? In this post, I will share some of my favorite Champagne tips.
